SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 732,677, dated June 30,1903.

' Application filed March 28,1903. Serial No. 150,026. (No inodel.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, DANIEL F. DETAMORE, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Trimble, in the county of Highland and State ofVirginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrenches;and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification. 7

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in wrenches, andespecially in the provision of acombined nut and pipe wrench withscrew-driver attachment to the end of the shank portion of the fixedjaw; and it consists in the provision of various novel features ofconstructionand combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter fullydescribed and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, withthe letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisapplication, and in which- Figure l is a side elevation of my improvedwrench. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectionthrough the wrench, and Fig. 3is an end view. Reference now being had to the details of the drawingsby letter, A designates a fixed jaw which has integral therewith a shankportion A, with teeth a upon one edge thereof, and a suitable handle Bis secured to said shank portion. The fixed jaw A has upon one end a jawat right angles to the shank portion adapted for use in cooperation withthe slidingjaw O to forma nut-wrench, while the opposite end of said jawA has a space cut away and angled, as at D, to cooperate with aspring-actuated jaw E, having teeth E upon one edge thereof to form apipewrench. Said jaw E is pivotally mounted upon a pin e, which ispassed through the wall of the chambered portion D of the sliding jaw O,and said jaw E has a hooked portion E adjacent to its pivotal pointwhich is adapted to engage over the end of one of the upon a pin K aratchet-lever N, the end of which is designed to engage the teeth a.Said jaw E has a shank portion F, carrying on its under surface a springF, the end of which rests in a recess it, formed in-the outer' face ofthe bar H, and has a sliding movement therein as the handle F is raisedand lowered, said spring being provided for the purpose of holding thefront end of the jaw E, having the serrations thereon, at its farthestforward throw. A similar spring N is fastened to the inner face of theratchetlever N, and its free end engages in an elongated recess h, whichis formed in the outer face of the bar H. 7

One end of the jaw O is milled, whereby the same may be used as ahammer-head, and one end of the jaw A is formed into a claw A wherebythe same maybe used for extracting nails. The outer end of the jaw A isslightly convexed in order to provide a suitable fulcrum for the jaw Awhen used in extracting nails, spikes, &c. and one end of s is'providedwhich may be used either as a nut or pipe wrench, while the fixed jaw isutilized as a tool for drawing spikes, nails, &c., and the end of theshank portion of the fixed jaw is formed into a screw-driver.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is- A combined pipe and nut wrench,comprise ing a fixed. jaw having a shank portion with serrations on oneedge thereof, said jaw having a portion of itsinner face at right anglesto the shank portion, and a sliding jaw cooperating therewith forming anut-wrench, achambered guide-casing K, bars connecting the latter withsaid movable jaw on opposite edges of said shank portion, a pivotal jawE mounted in a chambered portion of the sliding jaw and having a hookedportion projecting over the end of one of said bars, In testimonywhereof I hereunto afiix my a spring secured to an integral handle ofsaid signature in presence of two witnesses.

pivotal jaw and having a play in a recess T formed in the outer edge ofone of said bars, DAL IEL DETAMORE 5 and a spring-actuatedratehet-leverengaging Witnesses:

teeth on said shank portion of the fixed jaw, J. OLIF MATHENY,

as set forth. G. W. ARMSTRONG.
